International Volunteer Day (IVD) has finally arrived! December 5 marks the UN internationally observed day that aims to raise awareness and recognize the amazing works of both volunteers and volunteer organizations. Drawing attention to some of the unsung everyday heroes that make this world a better place, IVD is here to inform the general public about the positive impact of volunteering.
The site features great stories about volunteer initiatives taking place all over the globe, from Pakistan to Canada. Be a part of the celebration and get involved: volunteer in your community, make a pledge on the IVD website or tweet about your good deeds with the hashtag #actioncounts.
